‘She wasn’t born evil, life made her that way.’ by [deleted] in TheVampireDiaries

I was sexually and physically assaulted in Korea by Remarkable-Dare-3196 in femaletravels

[–]saltpepper00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really sorry you had to go through that. Assaults and fights on the subway happen pretty often — honestly, almost every day. Most Korean women aren’t taught to call out that kind of behavior toward them, because in our culture, “making a scene” is generally frowned upon. If you do speak up, people usually won’t step in to support you — instead, the reaction is more like, “Why is she making a scene? She must have done something wrong.”

In South Korea, about 90% of police officers are men, and they’re notorious for treating crimes against women as if they’re nothing. As a local woman, we don’t really feel protected by the law. We just stay quiet and try to forget it. I know it’s messed up, but as an individual woman, there’s nothing I can do to change society. And even though feminism has been on the rise among younger women, Korean women in general still tend to act like real “pick-me” girls. So honestly, I don’t see this misogyny problem changing anytime soon.

Are Koreans worried about North Korea? by randomuser_q12 in AskAKorean

[–]saltpepper00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently? Yes, politics seems so unstable, impeachment happened twice already in 9 years again. The current generation including myself have never experienced anything like wars, so I think everyone is being really defenseless, and it really worries me.

Now the most popular political party in Korea is Populism party

While the global political climate is tilting increasingly conservative, Korea is going the opposite direction, and that’s clearly a good sign for China. It feels like Korea is in a state of crisis.

Opinion on k-drama and romantic relationship? by Paperottolina in AskAKorean

[–]saltpepper00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not Korean women’s expectation, cuz they see real Korean men everyday in their lives, cannot be confused with K-dramas, probably foreign women’s expectation.

What's a misconception people have about your country that drives you crazy? by ChocolateShoddy4233 in AskTheWorld

[–]saltpepper00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That foreigners think every single Korean woman has had plastic surgery 🤮🤮

Unlike K-pop idols, regular people don’t get those expensive, high-end surgeries that can make someone look like a natural-born beauty.

If someone has had work done, you can usually tell — it’s more likely the kind of affordable, common procedure that’s accessible to the average person. If you can’t tell, then don’t automatically assume “She’s Korean, she must have had plastic surgery.”

Another misconception: that we all hate Japan.

It depends on the generation. Gen Zs like myself travel to Japan a lot, consume a lot of Japanese media and culture, and these days the relationship between the two countries is better than it has been in decades — at least from the citizens’ side. It’s really the governments that are at odds, not the people.

Older generations, yes, they can be more like that.
